Nefertari - whew! This has been some ordeal for you and although you say your GP is wonderful (as is mine) I do believe that their understanding of the mental and emotional shock that comes with diagnosis is limited. Suggest you just ignore 'passive'. The labyrinth of appointments let alone confusions and delays is sufficiently stressful to induce a range of emotional and physical responses/reactions. I hope that you'll soon be able to look back on these experiences as a time in your life when you 'went in to bat for yourself' and surprised yourself with your courage and resolve! Here's to 'bitch face', maybe she'd enjoy a glass of red or white!
